HI All,
I'm filling the citizenship application and i need help with few questions,
1# i have left uk in 2012 after overstay it is more then 10 years ago. do i have to mention it anywhere as
there is no space for that in online form.
2# Do i need to scan all my old passports (6 of them covering 35 years span) or most recent 2passports are
enough covering last 10 years ?
3# There is question about previous applications, do i have to mention all of them even if they are for visit
visa?
4# In 2020 i have made application to change my EEA permanent residence card to new EUSS settled status
card, do i need to mention that? as fingerprints were taken for that as well,
Thanks in Advance

If it's over 10 years, then even if you mention it, it should have no effect on your application.
2# Do i need to scan all my old passports (6 of them covering 35 years span) or most recent 2passports are

Not all, just the passports that has the path to citizenship. You might have been on the 10 years route, or 5 years route.
3# There is question about previous applications, do i have to mention all of them even if they are for visit
visa?
It asks about previous immigration visa applications, not non-immigrant visa (visitors) applications.
4# In 2020 i have made application to change my EEA permanent residence card to new EUSS settled status
card, do i need to mention that? as fingerprints were taken for that as well,
Yes
Thanks in Advance

Thanks for Quick reply, so is it better to mention that overstay in a cover letter or shall i just leave it and dont mention it as you said it wont have any effect on the application, which option will be better?
if i dont mention it will it have any effect on my application as i will be hiding something. thanks

Just mention it and leave it at that.
